Married to Mr. Mysterious

Chapter 3-Mr.Rude

I stir in my sleep and cover my eyes from the rays of sunshine forcing their way through my curtain. I hear the chirps of birds as the swoop throughout the sky's and trees branches. This is a feeling I am not used to ,but I enjoy deeply.This is the feeling of summer. I look forward to this every year.

I smile as I get up and walk to my closet. I grab a salmon pink strapless dress that goes just above my knee. I grab my white wedge heels and I skip to the shower. I turn the handle to the correct temperature as I set my out fit on the counter and I strip and step into the steaming yet warm water.

I let out a relaxing sigh as the water cascades throughout every inch of my hair and then makes its way down to the base of the shower. I massage shampoo and condition in my hair after scrubbing my body with vanilla scented body wash. Once clean I step out of the shower to dry off and get dressed.

I put the upper layers of my hair in a water fall braid, then curl my hair. I ad a white flower clip to accent the style of my hair and to make the outfit pop. I do my make up in a natural style and I make my way down stairs and to my car.

It has become a tradition to go to Fruity My Loopy Ice Cream & More! everyday on the first day out of school. Ms. Condenteine makes homemade fresh donuts this time every year.

I see a person standing at the register waiting for their order to be taken. I walk around to behind the counter to take their order. Ms. Condenteine doesn't mind when I do so, in fact she likes when I help her.

"Hey! Welcome to Fruity My Loopy Ice Cream & More!. On this very special week out menu lengthens with more delicious homemade foods and deserts. I'm Oliviana and I will be taking your order. Is there anything that-" I am unable to finish because the person interrupts me

"Yeah, yeah I get it.... Get me a frozen raspberry lemonade, a strawberry donut with vanilla frosting with a cherry and some sprinkles for toppings." He says

I don't let his rudeness affect my attitude. "Sure thing! Coming right up. Please take a number card and when your order is ready I will deliver it to you. Your total is $2.75 would that be cash, credit, or do you have a tab." I ask

Instead of replying he sets $3 on the counter an walks away saying keep the change. I get his order ready and I bring it to him. "Thanks ever so much for the $0.25 all tips go toward making deserts, drinks, and more. Enjoy your meal an have a spectacular day"

Again he doesn't reply, he just nods his head and walks out the door. I turn around to see Ms. Condenteine standing behind me smiling.

"Who was that?" I ask her.

"He's a regular"

"He had awful manners!" I say quietly so only her and I hear.

She chuckles and says "I have known him for a long time, he has a reason for the way he is. But his looks make up for it. If you know what I mean" she says with a wink.

I fake cringe and say "What?!? He lost all his attraction when he was so rude."

Ms. Condenteine grins and before she can reply...

"So you think I'm attractive?" I hear a voice say behind me.

Knowingly I slowly turn around. I give him an awkward wave and mumble "I....uhhh..I..I.."

"You...uhhh...you..you. You what?" He asks with a grin to match Ms. Condenteine.

"I'm sorry...uhh I'm sorry for saying you were....you were rude. It was...uhhh.wrong of me to do?" I say but it comes out more like a question.

He laughs and says "Don't be sorry, well not for that anyway. I should be apologizing for being rude. It was wrong of me to act as I did"

"It's fine, lets just say it never happened. But not to sound rude or anything. Why did you come back?" I ask

"I came to tell you it is not nice to try killing people." He says with a chuckle

My eyes bulge out of my head and I ask "What! What do you mean?!?! I didn't try to kill anyone!" Earning shocked looks from a few people nearby that heard and now are doing a terrible job at trying not to look obvious when they eves drop.

"When you squeeze the lemons in the drink, make sure you watch for lemon seeds. I almost choked on one"

"Oh! Gahhhdd... You freaked me out there! Sorry I didn't mean it. Would you like a refund?" I ask

"No thanks just wanted to tell you so you don't try it again." He says with a smile. I now notice his dimples. I always have found dimples attractive on guys for some reason.

"Maybe the reason is because I have them" he says with another smile

"Shit! I mean uhh Shoot! I said that aloud didn't I?"

"You did"

"We'll that was......awkward. You were...not supposed to hear...that" I say blushing

"I'm glad I did. Now I know your weak spot. See ya around" he says then walks out the door.

I stand still for a bit hoping to process what jut happened. When I regain my senses I go back behind the counter and get myself a strawberry donut with vanilla frosting. Which happens to be one of my favorites.

Ms. Condenteine slowly makes her way to me. "How was your chat with my gr....with that boy?" She asks.

"Fine" I say with a blush, I look down hoping she hadn't saw it.

"Is that blushing i see? I may be old but I still have skill." She says

"N-no" I stutter out.

Ms. Condenteine just chuckles, and walks away to the register to take the persons order.

I stay and help until 8 o'clock that night. I drive back home and start dinner for my father and i. I make Hamburger Helper's cheeseburger macaroni. Surprisingly he is not home yet so I go to check my phone.

"Shit!" I forgot my phone at Ms. Condenteine's Ice Cream & More.

As soon as I am ready I open the door. Me being surprised about what I see would be an understatement. Right in front of my eyes is......
